Plant proteins with lectin domains play an essential role in plant immunity modulation, but among a plurality of lectins recruited by plants, only a few members have been functionally characterized. For the analysis of flax lectin gene expression, we used FIBexDB, which includes an efficient algorithm for flax gene expression analysis combining gene clustering and coexpression network analysis. We analyzed the lectin gene expression in various flax tissues, including root tips infected with Fusarium oxysporum. Two pools of lectin genes were revealed: downregulated and upregulated during the infection. Lectins with suppressed gene expression are associated with protein biosynthesis (Calreticulin family), cell wall biosynthesis (galactose-binding lectin family) and cytoskeleton functioning (Malectin family). Among the upregulated lectin genes were those encoding lectins from the Hevein, Nictaba, and GNA families. The main participants from each group are discussed. A list of lectin genes, the expression of which can determine the resistance of flax, is proposed, for example, the genes encoding amaranthins. We demonstrate that FIBexDB is an efficient tool both for the visualization of data, and for searching for the general patterns of lectin genes that may play an essential role in normal plant development and defense.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease, affecting a significant part of the population. The majority of AD cases occur in the elderly with a typical age of onset of the disease above 65 years. AD presents a major burden for the healthcare system and since population is rapidly aging, the burden of the disease will increase in the future. However, no effective drug treatment for a full-blown disease has been developed to date. The genetic background of AD is extensively studied; numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified significant genes associated with increased risk of AD development. This review summarizes more than 100 risk loci. Many of them may serve as biomarkers of AD progression, even in the preclinical stage of the disease. Furthermore, we used GWAS data to identify key pathways of AD pathogenesis: cellular processes, metabolic processes, biological regulation, localization, transport, regulation of cellular processes, and neurological system processes. Gene clustering into molecular pathways can provide background for identification of novel molecular targets and may support the development of tailored and personalized treatment of AD.
